Ok, so since I'm a total nerd, I have to show support for my fellow nerdians. I've been using Linux for only about 5 years, but they were 5 years of non-stop usage. After touching just about every distro available (Gentoo, Ubuntu, Slackware, Debian, CentOS, RHEL) I must say, Ubuntu has finally done something right. Community support rocks, and it's the closest thing to 'it just works'. Granted, I'm glad I had my Linux career start with Slackware, and then on to Gentoo, because those distributions really make you learn something. Making the switch over to Ubuntu was a welcomed one, as I already know *nix fairly well, and I was sick and tired of waiting 4 hours for Firefox to recompile every time there was an update.

That said, I place a stupid countdown image to the next release of Ubuntu. (Can we do something about these absolutely horrific release names?)
